Why do we have to fall 
down on our knees
and begin to plea
allowing the world 
to break us down 
to the ground
before we can finally give up
and let go of it all
and allow a little space for grace
allow a little space for grace

What will it take 
to walk in the light 
every day
without believing it’s fake
and always mistrusting
without wanting to deny 
and accepting we deserve joy
without ever asking why
without ever asking why

What will we give 
to finally see
the god given strength 
within humanity
to step out of the shadows 
we hide behind
pretending we feel fine
when admitting the truth
and admitting the pain
is the only way to stay sane
the only way to stay sane

and allow a little space for grace
allow a little space for grace

Why do we make it so hard
fighting our true nature 
pushing it away so far
when all it takes 
is the smallest space
to open up the heart 
and allow its inner light to shine
allow its inner light to shine

Love is always waiting
to be remembered
always waiting to embrace
Love is -always- waiting
for just a little space
just a little space 
for grace
